When he heard that he could take a portion first, Wilson immediately agreed.
And very quickly.
Later that day.
With an email, Wilson sent some of the data from League of Legends back to the European headquarters.
Northern Europe.
At Crdd Gaming Company.
It was the same as almost all of the Northern European companies.
The CCRDY was not as stressful and fast-paced as the Chinese workplace.
It was clearly working hours.
However, many of them were still sitting leisurely at their desks, doing the work at hand unhurriedly, as if they were not in a hurry at all.
"Emergency meeting!"
"All analysts, supervisors above P7, and analysts above B6, gather in the conference room for a meeting!”
While this peaceful atmosphere was spreading.
The sudden appearance of the vice president's assistant, Harlan, broke the silence.
He heard that there was an emergency meeting.
Instantly.
Many people were stunned.
"Damn it! Today was Friday! Friday, understand? Our weekly meeting ended on Monday! Besides, we're going to get off work in half an hour!”
"Damned Harlan! Please shut your stinky mouth, okay? I don't want to have a meeting before I get off work!”
"Tell little Norman that we refuse to have a meeting on Friday!”
"That's right! If you want to have a meeting, you have to make an appointment with us a week in advance. I won't accept a bad decision like having a meeting on Friday!”
News of the meeting.
It broke the silence in the office.
It attracted a lot of opposition from everyone.
Although they knew that Harlan was Norman's assistant, the notice he brought was issued by Norman, the company's vice president.
However, even if he was the vice president.
He couldn't ask them to hold a meeting on Friday!
This was an oppression to the employees!
Faced with a wave of protests.
Harlan's expression was calm. He had clearly anticipated their reaction.
He didn't leave because of their objections.
"You must go."
"Because this isn't Norman's decision, but Miles's!”
Miles?
When he heard this name.
Everyone present was shocked.
Damn it!
Didn't Miles enjoy a happy retirement long ago?
Even though he was still a B11 analyst, he was still the highest ranked.
But didn't he stop caring about the company's matters a long time ago?
There were two sets of job hierarchy systems in the CCROD.
P-series administrative post.
B-series technical post.
A total of 10 levels.
Miles had relied on his excellent vision time and time again to become the company's only B11 level analyst!
He heard that the person who called the meeting was Miles.
Everyone present realized that there might really be an emergency.
They all headed to the meeting room.
...
"Damn it, where's Miles?"
"I know, Harlan must have lied to us!”
"No, it must be Norman! I should have opposed him becoming the vice president back then!”
"Why don't we all leave before Norman comes?”
They arrived at the meeting room.
Miles, who he had expected, did not appear.
Many people felt that they had been deceived.
They complained.
Some of them even stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment.
A young white man in a suit walked over.
Although they had been complaining in private, when they really saw Norman, many people stopped in their tracks. The youngest vice president of this company was different from the other bosses. He was really ruthless when he was ruthless!
As soon as Norman appeared, he immediately took control of the situation.
After he sat down, he swept his gaze across the crowd.
Everyone was present.
He didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"Time is of the essence, so I won't waste any more time.”
"There is only one topic for today's meeting-the evaluation of the value of League of Legends and how much we should pay to win the agency rights.”
As he spoke.
Norman pressed the remote control pen in his hand.
The LoL logo appeared on the screen in the meeting room.
League of Legends?
What the hell?
Do we have such a project?
After hearing the reason for Norman's meeting, everyone was stunned.
Harlan stood up.
"I know that everyone has a lot of doubts, so I'll explain it now.”
he introduced.
"League of Legends is a new product discovered by Wilson, who is in charge of the Chinese market.”
"Its developer is a two-year-old company, Riot Games.”
"According to the information sent back by Wilson, we have initially determined that it has great commercial value!”
" Below is a portion of its game information and data…"
...
Norman briefly explained the topic of the meeting.
Harlan introduced the details of League of Legends.
It turned out to be a game from China.
Many people were immediately stunned.
"Chinese games? Is Norman crazy?"
"An emergency meeting for a Chinese game? Are you serious?"
"Huaxia? Isn't that the game desert?"
China's gaming industry had been around for more than 20 years.
In the beginning.
Indeed, CCROD was very interested in China's gaming industry. They were even looking forward to it!
In their eyes.
That ancient eastern kingdom was full of wonders!
Although it started late, it might bring some surprises!
However…
As he went deep into the Chinese market again and again, he inspected their products again and again.
Crdd was getting more and more disappointed.
The Dragon Slaying Saber was a free gift, Level 999 with one slash…Damn it, the games there were worse than whiskey that had been soaked in the toilet all night!
Therefore, at this moment.
When they heard that Norman wanted to introduce games from the Chinese market, they were shocked.
Someone immediately objected.
"Harlan, you can save your breath and stop introducing yourself. We all know what Chinese games are like. I suggest that we end today's meeting here. There won't be any surprises in China."
Opposition quickly gained approval.
"That's right, the one who was lured in last time... Oh, that's right, the gunfight game that we brought in from Tengxun has already made us lose a lot of money!”
"A company that has just been established for two years. I estimate that their products might not even be as good as Tengxun's.”
"Such a meeting is a complete waste of our time!”
For a time, there were waves of opposition.
Harlan stood on the stage, unable to continue his introduction.
He glanced at Norman helplessly.
He shrugged.
"Boss, it looks like they don't want to hear it.”
Norman knew that because he was young, many people had private opinions about him being the vice president.
Seeing this situation, his face immediately darkened.
However, before he could say anything.
Suddenly, a voice came from the door.
"I agreed to the League of Legends agency project, and I was the one who decided to hold this emergency meeting.”
His voice was not loud.
But the effect was obvious.
Instantly.
All the people who were still clamoring against it were silenced!
No one dared to make a sound!
It was because the person who made this sound was none other than Miles!
She came to Norman's side.
Miles glanced at everyone.
The prestige accumulated over the years was not as simple as it sounded.
Miles 'gaze was like an old wolf patrolling his own camp. Wherever his gaze went, everyone lowered their heads! He didn't dare to look directly at her!
He controlled the situation.
Miles glanced at Harlan and said lightly,""Continue."
Harlan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he continued.
...
Miles 'pressure made everyone present submit.
Similarly.
When they knew that today's meeting was his idea, even the introduction of the Chinese game League of Legends was also Miles 'decision.
Many people couldn't help but feel curious.
They knew Miles's taste.
To be able to catch his eye, could it be…Did Huaxia really have a product worth betting on?
Harlan's voice was the only sound in the conference room.
"League of Legends is a 5v5 online game developed by Riot Games.”
"In the game, ten players will be divided into two camps and choose a hero, which is the game character. Battling in a predetermined map.”
Although he did not know the full picture of the game.
However, everyone present was an elite in this field.
This was especially true for the analysts who dealt with games every day.
Harlan said.
They immediately realized the charm of this game!
Confrontation had always been the melody of the human world!
A certain big shot once said.
Fighting against the heavens was an endless joy!
Fighting with the ground was an endless joy!
Fighting with others was even more fun!
This was the best way to stimulate everyone's desires!
When he heard about this special game method, his initial disdain changed.
Gradually, many people started to become interested.
...
"As far as we know, League of Legends will be operating for free.”
"He doesn't use a point card system, nor does he charge by the hour, nor does he buy it out in one go.”
"All the characters in the game can be unlocked by obtaining gold coins online or by participating in the game.”
" According to the game information that we have, Riot has designed and completed more than a hundred hero characters for League of Legends…"
After a brief introduction of the game.
It displayed some of the game's specific information.
Harlan began to introduce the charging model of League of Legends.
When they heard that it was actually free to operate, they were shocked.
Everyone present was even more shocked!
"What is it? It's actually free?"
"Free? Did their creator not want to make money?”
All of a sudden, the conference room was filled with discussions.
Even though there were free games in the games that they represented.
However, most of them were low-cost casual games with very small volumes. They made money by inserting advertisements into the game!
For a large-scale online game like League of Legends, being free was obviously not the right operating model!
For a moment.
Everyone was surprised.
Could it be that League of Legends was also planning to make money through advertising?
However, that kind of profit was too small!
Harlan knew what they were concerned about.
Hence, he explained.
"Yes, League of Legends is a free game.”
"But it's different from the free games we represent. It doesn't make money through advertising.”
" It's through the introduction of the in-game skins that League of Legends feels like-you can understand it as a kind of costume, and you can earn profits by selling the skins.”
Dressing up was no stranger to the gaming practitioners present.
They quickly understood what Harlan meant.
However, this did not completely answer their doubts.
Or rather, this was not the reasonable profit model they wanted to hear.
This was because their company had also operated this kind of game that earned profits through the sale of virtual costumes.
However, the benefits were not high.
Selling virtual outfits was a little better than inserting advertisements, but it was still not enough!
...
It was just a brief introduction from Harlan.
It was difficult for the participants to understand the huge commercial value behind selling skins.
They had no idea how much money they could earn!
This was a difference in their perception, and it was also a cognitive limitation brought about by their past experience.
However, this did not matter.
When the game was officially released, they would definitely be shocked when they saw the terrifying money-sucking effect!
But overall.
Even though he was not satisfied with the way the game was profitable, after reading some of the game's information.
They had completely changed their minds.
This game.
Other than the method of making profits that needed to be improved, everything else was perfect!
It was definitely worth it!
After Harlan finished his introduction, Miles did not waste any time.
"There's only one purpose for holding this meeting today, to discuss how much we should pay to fight for the agency rights!”
Yes, it was.
How much should they pay to get the agency?
This was Miles 'true intention, the topic that he wanted everyone to discuss.
Rather than calling it a game company, it was more like a pure large-scale global game operator.
Different games had different values.
They also had two different agency plans.
The first option was to pay a fixed fee to buy out the agency rights, and all the profits of the game would go to Crdd.
Second, in addition to paying an agency fee every year, the company would also split the profits with the game manufacturer and pay a certain percentage of the profits.
The first plan was relatively simple. They would usually only work with some ordinary game manufacturers with ordinary strength and works.
The second was much more complicated.
This was because they had to fully estimate the profit margin of the game product before they could determine the share ratio.
...
Miles threw out this question.
Immediately, many people were conflicted.
There was no need to consider buying out the agent. With the quality of League of Legends 'products, they would definitely not accept a single agent fee.
Therefore, the problem was how to split the profits.
"I think 30% is a good suggestion.”
At this moment, someone suggested.
30%？
Hearing this number, many people secretly nodded.
In the games that their company had operated in the past, this was already a relatively good number.
However, after hearing this suggestion.
Miles shook his head.
"30% is too low. This is the percentage we give to ordinary games.”
"How about 40%?" At this moment, someone suggested.
“40%？I don't think the other party will agree.”
"But it can't be 45%? That's too much."
For a moment.
The crowd discussed animatedly.
No one could agree on how much they should give.
"Norman, what do you think?"
Seeing that there was no result from the discussion for a while, Miles looked at Norman, who had been thinking.
Although Norman was young, Miles attached great importance to him.
It was also because of his support that Norman was able to become one of the company's vice presidents.
Norman heard this.
He asked Miles a question.
"Miles, how much profit did Snowstorm get from selling Magical Beasts to a Chinese company?”
Hearing this question.
Miles didn't have any reaction, but Harlan, who was at the side, was stunned.
Exploding snow? Magical beasts?
Hiss!
That was the most popular game in the world!
Didn't Norman mean that the importance of League of Legends was on the same level as that of Warcraft?
Could it be that he also wanted to refer to the proportion of monsters to give League of Legends a plan?
Harlan was surprised.
However, Miles suddenly laughed.
He knew that he had not misjudged her!
Although Norman was young, his foresight was the same as before.
"55%. Snowstorm wants to take 55% of all profits. This is the highest sharing plan in the industry.”"So Norman, your opinion is 55%?" Miles asked. Very well, that's what I think too."
Hearing this number.
Harlan was completely dumbfounded!
We're responsible for everything, helping Riot Games develop the overseas market, and then we have to give more than half of the profits?
Riot Games only gives us the product, and they want to take 55% of the profits?
Heavens!
This was too crazy!
Harlan thought that 55% was crazy enough.
At this moment.
Norman shook his head.
Then, he said an even more ridiculous number!
